Barefoot Sisters Launch Book Tour at Appalachian Trail Visitors Center
Harpers Ferry, W. Va
AT the late spring of 2000, Lucy Letcher, 25, and her just-graduated sister, Susan, 21, set out hiking the Appalachian Trail from their home in Maine to Georgia.
And then back again the following March.
Mostly barefoot.
That sort of thing gets noticed, even among the largest-ever “class” of thru-hikers.
At noon on Tuesday, August 4, the “Barefoot Sisters”—known on the trail as “Isis” and “Jackrabbit”—begin a signing tour for the first of their two books, The Barefoot Sisters Southbound, in the Appalachian Trail Visitors Center at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy national headquarters in Harpers Ferry, W.Va. (799 Washington Street, at the corner of Storer College Place).
Their 474-page book, praised by many reviewers (hikers and nonhikers alike) for the exceptional writing, will be available for sale and autographing at the ATC member price of $21.20 (the regular retail price is $24.95).
The women are flying in from Berlin and Central America, respectively, for the tour, and their next stop is August 5 at 7 p.m. at Campmor’s retail store at 400 Corporate Drive in Mahwah, N.J.
